Giant Riders Unite! Show off your Giant!
I'll start:
2013 Giant Defy 1. Humble? Yes! but I have no real complaints in 2600ish miles. No upgrades because I can't really find a reason to change anything. If something breaks or wears out I might change something.....

Australian Giant TCR. Not sure of year, found its way to me (North Carolina) via Guam as a bare frame off ebay. I've put a 5400 miles on it since I put it together a little over 10 months ago.

Looks like you slammed the stem, so why not cut the steerer tube? It will improve the looks.

I like being able to change things up to accommodate my fitness level.
Looks are last on my list, comfort is key.
Guess you didn't notice my mismatch wheels, & dirty tires.

Guess I have to take it off my list, of potential next bike purchase.
